The sedan redefined: The Audi A3 sedan combines coupé character with elegant charm. The low, flowing roof conveys pure dynamics and with its muscular, taut surface, the sedan shows off its inherent swagger.

The RS 5 Coupé owes its significant increase in power and efficiency to the newly developed six-cylinder engine. The two turbochargers are positioned centrally between the cylinder banks. The air is drawn out of every two-flow turbocharger and into the combustion chambers, which makes the response spontaneous and dynamic - at any speed. The RS 5 Coupé accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds. Its maximum torque of 600 Nm (170 Nm more than the previous model) lies in a wide range of 1900-5000 1/min. This power is achieved through the sporty eight-speed tiptronic with optimised switching times, superior to the standard permanent all-wheel drive quattro with centre differential. Dynamic handling, with excellent traction and simultaneously with maximum safety, is guaranteed with the driving forces, which are distributed at a ratio of 40:60. The robust RS-sound further emphasises the power of the engine.

No sooner has the engine started, than dynamics become perceptible. Several driving modes can be adjusted via the Audi drive select and which range from confidently sporty to directly dynamic. Additionally, the driver can carry out their own individual settings to savour the driving performance of the RS 5 Coupé even more. The standard RS sports suspension ensures significantly lower road handling as compared to the previous model. Alternatively, it is possible to choose the dynamic steering with RS-specific set-tops. Specially tuned to the RS 5 Coupé, it reduces the pitch and roll for improved road holding. The RS 5 Coupé weighs 60 kilograms less than its predecessor. An optimised combustion process with reduced compression makes the RS 5 Coupé even more efficient.

Strength of character to the last detail.

The RS 5 Coupé was designed to incorporate the striking motorsport details of the Audi 90 quattro IMSA GTO: massive air intakes with typical RS honeycomb structure, a wider and lower single-frame grille, lateral air in and outlets and the typical RS sides which emphasise the broad wheel arches through the strong curvature. Sportiness is also evident at the rear. The applied spoiler lip, the RS-specific diffuser insert and oval tailpipes are a part of the RS character. These details can be further individualised through the optional styling packages which offer dull aluminum or fine carbon.

A sought-after seat for sportiness.

The command centre of the RS 5 Coupé remains completely black. On the interior, the performance character of the RS 5 Coupé is taken up with the RS sports seats in Fine Nappa leather, optional in honeycomb stitching and seams in contrasting colour, which provide perfect lateral support and engage with the RS-Sport contour leather steering wheel with gearshift paddles. The RS logo can be found on the seats, on the steering wheel, the door sill trims and on the selector lever. The Audi virtual cockpit brings important information directly into your field of vision using clear, high-resolution displays - including RS-specific content such as G-meters, shift light or tyre pressure or temperature. In this way you are able to enjoy the RS character even more.
